Obfuscated code detected
The plugin contains code that appears intentionally hard to read or review.
Why It Shows Up
Plugin Check detected patterns commonly associated with obfuscation, such as encoded code, dynamic evaluation, or unreadable transformations.
Why It Matters
Obfuscation makes security review difficult and can hide unwanted behavior from site owners and reviewers.
How to Fix
- Replace obfuscated PHP or JavaScript with readable source.
- Avoid runtime decoding and dynamic execution for normal plugin logic.
- If minified assets are needed, include readable source or a clear build process.
